The page gives the verse in Hebrew as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Hebrew — and its pragmatics: who acts — these, children — and what happens in the verse to children, Tel melah, houses, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 10 chapters of Ezra on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וְאֵ֗לֶּה הָֽעֹלִים֙ מִתֵּ֥ל מֶ֙לַח֙ תֵּ֥ל מֶ֙לַח֙ תֵּ֣ל חַרְשָׁ֔א תֵּ֣ל חַרְשָׁ֔א כְּר֥וּב אַדָּ֖ן אִמֵּ֑ר וְלֹ֣א יָֽכְל֗וּ לְהַגִּ֤יד בֵּית־אֲבוֹתָם֙ וְזַרְעָ֔ם אִ֥ם מִיִּשְׂרָאֵ֖ל הֵֽם׃ [And these were they that went up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsa, Cherub, Addan, and Immer; but they could not tell their fathers' houses, and their seed, whether they were of Israel:](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/EZR.71/) ## The tree {#tree} Right to left, as the Hebrew is read; a prefix or suffix is a word of its own, and a line under the words joins those written as one. Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:EZR:69 # text = וְאֵ֗לֶּה הָֽעֹלִים֙ מִתֵּ֥ל מֶ֙לַח֙ תֵּ֥ל מֶ֙לַח֙ תֵּ֣ל חַרְשָׁ֔א תֵּ֣ל חַרְשָׁ֔א כְּר֥וּב אַדָּ֖ן אִמֵּ֑ר וְלֹ֣א יָֽכְל֗וּ לְהַגִּ֤יד בֵּית־אֲבוֹתָם֙ וְזַרְעָ֔ם אִ֥ם מִיִּשְׂרָאֵ֖ל הֵֽם׃ # verse = EZR.2.59 1-2 וְאֵ֗לֶּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_2:59!1|MId=o150020590011|Strong=2050b 2 אֵ֗לֶּה אֵלֶּה PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 0 root _ Gloss=these|Ref=EZR_2:59!1|MId=o150020590012|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative 3-4 הָֽעֹלִים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הָֽ הַ SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=[are].the|Ref=EZR_2:59!2|MId=o150020590021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 עֹלִים֙ עָלָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=[ones.who].came.up|Ref=EZR_2:59!2|MId=o150020590022|Strong=5927|Type=participle_active 5-6 מִתֵּ֥ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=EZR_2:59!3|MId=o150020590031|Strong=4480 6 תֵּ֥ל תֵּל PROPN _ _ 4 obl _ Gloss=Tel|Ref=EZR_2:59!3|MId=o150020590032 7 מֶ֙לַח֙ מֶלַח PROPN _ _ 6 flat:name _ Ref=EZR_2:59!3 8 תֵּ֥ל תֵּל PROPN _ _ 6 conj _ Gloss=Melah|Ref=EZR_2:59!4|MId=o150020590041 9 מֶ֙לַח֙ מֶלַח PROPN _ _ 8 flat:name _ Ref=EZR_2:59!4 10 תֵּ֣ל תֵּל PROPN _ _ 6 conj _ Gloss=Tel|Ref=EZR_2:59!5|MId=o150020590051 11 חַרְשָׁ֔א חַרְשָׁא PROPN _ _ 10 flat:name _ Ref=EZR_2:59!5 12 תֵּ֣ל תֵּל PROPN _ _ 6 conj _ Gloss=Harsha|Ref=EZR_2:59!6|MId=o150020590061 13 חַרְשָׁ֔א חַרְשָׁא PROPN _ _ 12 flat:name _ Ref=EZR_2:59!6 14 כְּר֥וּב כְּרוּב PROPN _ _ 6 conj _ Gloss=Kerub|Ref=EZR_2:59!7|MId=o150020590071|Strong=3743 15 אַדָּ֖ן אַדָּן PROPN _ _ 6 conj _ Gloss=Addon|Ref=EZR_2:59!8|MId=o150020590081|Strong=0135 16 אִמֵּ֑ר אִמֵּר PROPN _ _ 6 conj _ Gloss=Immer|Ref=EZR_2:59!9|MId=o150020590091|Strong=0564a 17-18 וְלֹ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_2:59!10|MId=o150020590101|Strong=2050b 18 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 19 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EZR_2:59!10|MId=o150020590102|Strong=3808|Type=negative 19 יָֽכְל֗וּ יָכֹל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.were.able|Ref=EZR_2:59!11|MId=o150020590111|Strong=3201|Frame=A0:150020590022;|Type=qatal 20-21 לְהַגִּ֤יד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EZR_2:59!12|MId=o150020590121|Strong=3807a 21 הַגִּ֤יד נָגַד VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 19 xcomp _ Gloss=declare|Ref=EZR_2:59!12|MId=o150020590122|Strong=5046|Frame=AA:150020590022;A0:150020590152;|Type=infinitive_construct 22 בֵּית־ בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 30 dislocated _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=EZR_2:59!13|MId=o150020590131|Strong=1004|SpaceAfter=No 23-24 אֲבוֹתָם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 אֲבוֹת אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=their.ancestors|Ref=EZR_2:59!14|MId=o150020590141|Strong=0001 24 ָם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=EZR_2:59!14|MId=o150020590142|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 25-27 וְזַרְעָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EZR_2:59!15|MId=o150020590151|Strong=2050b 26 זַרְע זֶרַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 conj _ Gloss=offspring|Ref=EZR_2:59!15|MId=o150020590152|Strong=2233 27 ָ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 26 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=EZR_2:59!15|MId=o150020590153|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 28 אִ֥ם אִם SCONJ _ _ 30 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=EZR_2:59!16|MId=o150020590161|Strong=0518 29-30 מִיִּשְׂרָאֵ֖ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=[were].from|Ref=EZR_2:59!17|MId=o150020590171|Strong=4480 30 יִּשְׂרָאֵ֖ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 21 ccomp _ Gloss=Israel|Ref=EZR_2:59!17|MId=o150020590172|Strong=3478 31 הֵֽם הֵם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 30 nsubj _ Gloss=they|Ref=EZR_2:59!18|MId=o150020590181|Strong=1992|Type=personal|SpaceAfter=No 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=EZR_2:59!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** יָֽכְלוּ *they were able* | qatal · qal | עֹלִים *\[ones who\] came up* | | | | | הַגִּיד *declare* | infinitive construct · hiphil | זַרְע *offspring* | | | עֹלִים *\[ones who\] came up* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
